It's that time of year when we're boxing up our R-Time novels for September and luckily we have very helpful library assistants! Year 7's novel will be the popular #AKindofSpark by Elle McNicoll @BooksandChokers @DerbyHighEng

Students with an interest in Media were invited to the Library to 'Go All In' Inside the Studio with a live webinar as part of #NationalYearofReading. Great interview tips and some useful advice from the football and journalist world! Thanks @nationalliteracytrust! 💯

Happy #WorldBookDay! How many Dalmatians can you spot in the Literacy Team? We went all in today with lots of bookish activities including the #FootyBooky Quiz in the morning for Year 7 and at lunchtime for all and Staff Dress Up! Happy Reading! 🐾📖@go_all_in_2026 #101Dalmatians
